Field measurements
Geotechnical field measurements are one of our main activities.
Various systems are used for displacement measurements on the surface and in boreholes. Vibrations are also recorded and monitored using suitable systems. Pile load tests are carried out to determine the bearing capacity and serviceability of piles, and piles are checked using ultrasound measurements and the reflection method.
